Pet care experience

Canines agree best care received

I have had dogs for as long as I can remember and have been watching them for friends, family, and neighbors for about 7 years. I have a plentiful experience ranging from farm dogs that just need someone to make sure they are still there, to helping whelp four litters of kelpie pups till they were ready to go to their new homes! I love going on long walks and live two minutes from the walking trail so your fur babies can get plenty of exercise. I have a quite home and am well versed in giving senior care for your gray haired angels.

Boarding • Mai 19, 2026

Helen took our same-day boarding and was great! My dog was happy and it helped my wife and I out in a pinch.

Drop-In Visits • Mai 10, 2026

Helen was very good with Barkley. She sent pictures with every visit that she made. She also stayed with him a short time and played with him. I will use her again.

Helen was amazing! We had to book last minute and she was quick to respond. The dogs loved her and she made being away from home less stressful.

Helen provides the absolute best care for the animals under her supervision. We frequently leave our dogs with her while we travel and have always had amazing results. Her communication is unmatched, she takes pictures and videos to send daily, and also has an immaculate house and yard that our girl gets to play in. Not to mention she is very open and friendly when meeting and communicating. I would recommend whole heartedly to anybody looking for a pet sitter.

Schedule

I am currently working online so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your fur babies! I get up early in the mornings so times are never really a problem for me, I can come whenever is scheduled and work around from there.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with about a quarter acre to run around in. Plenty of shade and a kiddie pool to splash around in. I have one very well trained and neutral/friendly dog in the house currently and one cat that is very dog savvy and knows to stay out of the way. I can easily crate if needed and live two minutes from the walking trails for easy exercise and care. I pride myself on leaving a home cleaner then I found it and having it appear that I was never there in the first place!

Pets

A typical day

Depending on the needs will effect how our days go! High energy puppy with lots to burn? I see a good walk and play in the park! A senior who just wants attention and pets? A nice slow walk and time spent with a good book on the floor or couch.

Please let me know specific instructions for the dogs/cats I will be watching over. The more details the better as I want to provide the upmost of care to them. If they are special needs, have dietary requirements, specific commands, or certain medications needed at a certain time do not hesitate to let me know. Also please let me know if any behavioral problems are present I don’t judge but don’t want to walk into a situation blind either.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
